I don't get it. How the fuck do you make eyes point in and focus in the correct direction?

There's not a lot on this subject, and it's especially hard if the head is at an angle

Welcome to /life/. Life drawing is a great way to solidify your understanding of perspective, forms, and movement in the real world to apply them to your own works and pieces. Drawing from life is critical to your development as an artist, yet unfortunately ignored by many artists. Draw from life. It has all of the answers to any question you have.

Pic related is the best /trad/ fags can do. What is even the point of spending years on learning to draw and handle paint if the end result is such a bland result?

Yup, it’s an important colloquial conversation though because it often tricks students into a life of revolving door art classes. When you see every “New Master” teacher say the “Old Masters, such as Sargent and Bougereau” it not only loses the essential meaning of Master, it even muddies the idea of Old. Even at the time, what Booger did was seen as archaic, and a pastiche of older styles that were once original. He’s Pre-Raphaelite at best, but a Disney ride at worst, and recent enough that people alive today had parents who had heard of him. Old Masters ran guilds, Old Masters have long since turned to dust. Sargents body is still fresh, his legacy unclear, his “Mastery” still scrutinized, but he’s marketable to dumb students the same way you could show a junkie art student a Warhol and they’d find a way to agree that it’s good art

What is he even trying to do. There is an ungodly amount of fucker in the art world, who deserves hate much more then him. But what is he trying to do?
Is he working from life?
Why are the shelves full of stuff?
He could at least make the still life more interesting, maybe telling a story through the items, otherwise is just modernistic nonsense.

I think it's inherent to artists, unless one pays the big bucks to contract a studio. But that is of course outside of my budget.

>He's been a target for hate for over 15 years because of his anatomy and the way he draws women by artists and journalists alike.

These days he's hated because he's trained AI on his own work and uses it to shorten the time it takes to make because he's getting old and doesn't draw as much as he used to. (He's pushing 50)

Beg.

The general thread for Manga / manga-styled comic-making, manga-style illustration and related comic work. That said, everyone is welcome here.

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

>backgrounds are consistent with every camera angle
That's great anon, we need more people doing backgrounds. Just don't sweat every single last detail. Your average reader is just gonna glaze eyes over the backgrounds for two seconds before moving on, if that. Other artists will 'mire your work, but your core readership is for better or worse not gonna care about 100% consistency.

Alright guys, here's the deal:

i'm going on a trip with my art boyfriend into the rocky mountains and were staying at a condo there for a month.

I have two options:

1. I bring my physical copies of Loomis, Hampton and Vilppu and study them all for a month

2. I draw my art boyfriend instead as well as the surrounding scenery

Which will net me more experience?
